Which school is most reputable for business....Miami, Boston College, Wake Forest, or Wisconsin???

Question

I need to choose between these 4 and I am interested in hearing which people find most prestigious.

University of Miami that is.

Answer 1

Business Week lists Boston College highest at #14, Wake Forest at #17, Wisconsin at #28, and University of Miami at #47.


Boston College:
The best school (and most prestigous) is most obviously BC, their B School is absolutly top notch. The best thing about BC is it's location. Boston is central to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of companies that are part of the world financial leaders. The only other place to find more companies involved in finances and monetary trade is Wall Street. Being that Boston is in such a central location the amount of recruiting and internship oportunies will be astronomical, although competition will be fierce. In addition the alumni network in Boston is extensive and this is always helpful.

University of Miami: Very good school. (Surprised it was not ranked higher actually). In Miami you will have plenty of opportunities for internships and job placement after graduation. UM grads are highly recruited by companies in Miami and the nation as well. Very reputable in the business world, also.

Wake Forest:
Great school for Business. There are quite a few companies in NC that require grads like you (finance majors), although the number of opportunities will be far less than in Boston. In regards to prestige I would say that the B school is highly regarded but the school in general is not as highly ranked.


Wisconsin:
Highly ranked school. I must admit though, I was surprised the school was ranked so highly. The school is not all that prestigous, especially out side of the Northern region of the country. Also, there are relatively few opportunities in Wisconsin.



In regards to prestige I would say BC then UM, then Wake Forest then Wisconsin.

Answer 3

What does it matter? Most prestigious doesn't always equate to job placement. You have to graduate from the program first, which means you'll need to know what these schools expect from their students, if they require anything at all, prior to enrolling into their program and if they have progression requirements if you get in.

The question is, do you have what it takes to get into these programs? They may be prestigious, but think of how many other people are out there that are just like you. What sets you apart from them? Why should they take you before someone who looks exactly like you do on paper? Those are the questions you need to be asking, not so much which is more prestigious.

A degree from any of these schools would put you in an elite category, so I wouldn't be too concerned about figuring out which is "more prestigious" than the others. It's like asking yourself should I buy a Benz, BMW, or Lexus. Each is unique and has certain qualities that the others do not, but either one you choose, you'll have a pretty darn good car!

Answer 4

The most reputable from that list is easily Boston College. They are constantly visited by top companies to recruit the students and the professors at BC usually helps their students try to get jobs which creates a great alumni network. Business week rates BC at number 14 for undergrad business ranking.
